My LVT, first build after an absence of almost 2 years, and I kind of screwed up unfortunately.

The build is rather mediocre, which is still a euphemism. :-)

Hope I can save it a bit in the wheatering stage.

All comments are welcome!

Dave

Nobody likes LVT's? :-)

The build isn't perfect, but I was wondering what you all thought of the modulation paint job...

Thanks!

Dave-- very clean build. Are you going to use the kit supplied track?

Yes, I'll use the kit tracks, they look ok. I've already painted them in there base color.

I'm wondering if an LVT would need a lot of chipping?

Dave-- I am no Marine, but I would say the effects of salt water and coral would pretty well bang up an LVT
My two cents

Hi Dave,

I agree with DJ, there alot of weathering you can do to really bring it out and look realistic. I think its a nice looking job with lots of potential.
